Here is the project website:

http://www.webmproject.org/

I hope it does well and they can make the encoding and decoding efficient quite 
quickly, and that lots of tools sprout up quickly. 

Its almost still to early even to do some initial testing, but I shall give it 
a go in the coming days.

Yay no more need for me to rant about Theoras downsides anymore. I'll give webm 
a year or 2 to get somewhere before I start ranting about it.

Cant decide if I like or hate the name. At least its short and hasnt got any 
numbers in it.

Despite my constant multi-point rants about why h.264 is so dominant now, I 
still think this is a good day.

Cheers

It is indeed good news. Think of how this discussion has unfolded the
past year. Ogg/Theora went from a funky little FOSS project to a
serious codec backed by Google.

If anyone is doing any video experiments with html5 (and VP8)...please post!

[videoblogging] Veetle?

2010-05-19 Thread David Jones
I just read Cringely's latest post:
http://www.cringely.com/2010/05/tv-after-youtube/
and he raves about Veetle as being the future of Internet TV.
First time I've heard of it, and I can't check it out right now at
work as it's a blocked site.

But I thought I'd throw it out there:
Has anyone used it to broadcast their stuff?
How does it work from a broadcasters perspective?
Could I just upload my 100 or so blog episodes and have people watch it?
What's the revenue model for the broadcaster?

Thanks.
Dave.

I fear Veetle is going to be the Tragedy of Napster Redux. The video quality
is light years better than livestream/qik/justin.tv, the viewing experience
much cleaner, broadcasters have full control... but as commenters on
Cringeley's blog point out, the site literally features things like The
Simpsons Channel on the front page. It is basically The Pirate Stream.

I don't know how they're getting this quality. Maybe integrating P2P
technology into the feeds. I don't know. I mean it's LIVE but the good
quality feeds look as good as or better than Hulu.

I'm planning to use it, happily, for a new project, and just hope it lasts
til that's finished. The image quality is just amazing for live, let alone
free. I'll be thrilled if they survive, with or without the pirated stuff.
